Live Supernaturally
But my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus
(Philippians 4:19).
The Lord Jesus, when He walked the earth, lived
by supernatural principles. He lived without
a sense of lack or need and was always in charge of
situations and circumstances. For example, when He
fed the five thousand with five loaves of bread and
two fishes, He took the loaves and fishes and blessed
them (Matthew 14:17-20). The Greek word used for
“blessed” is “eulogeō,” meaning that He invoked the
ability to prosper into the bread and the fishes; it was
an invocation of power for the bread and the fishes
to multiply.
As Christians, we’re to follow the example of the
Lord and live in this world by supernatural principles.
The Apostle Paul, in our opening verse, says, “…my
God shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus.” You’d notice, he didn’t say,
“Our God will supply all our need”; rather, he said, “My
God shall supply all your need.” He excluded himself.
Why? He was talking to spiritual babes or sense-ruled
believers. Talking about himself earlier, in the thirteenth
verse of the same chapter, he said, “I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me.” He didn’t
say “we can” but “I can do all things…”; he had no
sense of lack or need. What a mentality!
You may be a church pastor, for instance, and
may find yourself in a situation where you’re looking at
men because you need money for some projects in the
house of God; begin to think differently. Whatever may
be the need, have a different mentality. Understand,
first and foremost, that the Church of Jesus Christ is a
spiritual, supernatural body; therefore, whatever need
there is must be met supernaturally.
It makes no difference how much you collect in
the offering; you can do what Jesus did! We’ve got the
power to invoke the Spirit of God into the offerings;
into whatever has been brought to the house of God
for God’s use. You say, “In the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, I invoke into these offerings the power
to increase; I command you to multiply in the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ, for the things that we need to
do. You’ll be more than enough in Jesus’ Name.”
The same thing goes for you as an individual; learn
to invoke the blessings of increase on your finances
and you’ll be amazed at the supernatural results that’ll
follow.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for enriching my life with your
precious Word and for enabling me with the ability to meet my
needs supernaturally and be totally independent of man and
circumstances. I experience supernatural increase in every
area of my life as I put your Word to work, in Jesus Name. Amen.
